Ok, I have now had Blogger eat a post. There was a rather lengthy (for me) discussion of the far too many books I'm currently reading, a couple movies we've seen and M's birthday party. I am not up to typing it in again and I can't seem to find it in my history. Bad Blogger! Here are the highlights. Sorry.
Wireless - short story collection by Charles Stross. Features one story in the Laundry universe (Hi Bob) and other sci fi confections. I liked it.
Rule 34 - Stross's new novel. May not get finished. Like the big picture plot, not crazy about the details.
The Magician King - sequel to Lev Grossman's The Magicians. It's brilliant so far.
Feed (Mira Grant version this time!), Monstrumologist, White Devil, Ready Player One all waiting in the wings and chomping at the bit to be read. Too many books all at once. And this from the guy at the Library. Yes. Stereotype or Irony or whatever you prefer.
Insidious - from the guys that brought you Paranormal Activity. I liked it, lovely wife refused to watch it based on the trailer. She missed out. In spite of being three horror movies shoved into one, it worked.
True Grit - quite good. Nice acting/storytelling, breathtaking landscapes and cinematography.
M's birthday party - Letter 'd' does not pretend to understand the minds of several tween girls, but in spite of the karaoke on the PS3 they seemed to have a good time. Why would they do that to the poor PS3? Also, who let M turn 10? I do not approve of this.
And I think that catches me up to where I was. Sorry for the lack of detail.

Oh the life of girls! Love the singing along sessions. Next will be the make-up and dress up sessions. Liked True Grit and Insidious as well.
